Writing It Down for You

In between designing and brainstorming I usually shoot over to youTube so I can turn my brain into mush for a few moments. Its hard to avoid anyways since everyone in the office is on it too. Hey we are online advertisers so we have to be. Anyways here are some fun youTube finds.

The Origins of Spam

Everything Monty Python is good. The word on the street is this is where the word spam, that annoying stuff that shows up in your inbox, came from. The say the word spam over 300 hundred times I have been told.

When fads get destructive

AN EMO SPIDER-MAN! That I had to see that and did. Of course they missed the the definition of emo just like this news cast did. Emo has nothing to do with any of this. If you want the real definition go here. Of course, of all places, only Utah would worry about something as stupid as this.

For most of you this might not mean much but its what I deal with everyday and will help you understand why I have no patience left. It made me remember when I started working for my first website design shop where these comments where common. It was a little place and we mainly built small 5 page websites for upstarts for less than one thousand dollars. However what I am discovering is it seems more and more clients are lacking the experience needed to help us designers understand their needs. What’s worse is as the client gets bigger you would expect it to be better but instead the ignorance never goes away and these comments become comments of professional sounding stupidity. Honestly I think its time for the designers to do some Teach The Client 101.
